Roomba wheel -- stuck

\015 My Rooma Discovery 4210 has one slow-moving wheel--one of the two spins just find, the other slowly. I can't find an obstruction, but I can't see what might be lurking between the wheel and the black plastic that covers it, either. I called and Roomba told me the wheels of the Discovery models can't be fixed and suggested I buy a new Rooma 500-series, which has fixable wheels. They didn't recommend trying to repair the wheel. Well. Thanks, Roomba. Given that this machine is otherwise useless, any suggestions on how to get that wheel unstuck?\015

I had a similar problem, I just took my Roomba Red apart and put it back together about four times before I fixed it. In my case it turned out to be a dirty sensor, fixed as described at\015\012\015\012http://mysteryroad.blogs.com/photos/roomba_gallery/xintroroomba_3549.html\015\012\015\012Before you open it up I recommend following the diagnostic tests to see if its a physical problem (bad motor belt, hair stuck around the wheel) or a sensor problem (dirt makes Roomba think it is stuck when it isn't). If you follow the diagnostics one of them will move the Roomba wheels while ignoring the sensors; if the wheels move fine then you probably have a sensor problem.\015\012\015\012http://www.roombareview.com/swiftracer/roombareddiagnosticsmode.shtml\015\012\015\012-- Ben\015\012www.benzado.com

Hello,
Last night my Roomba got stuck on a blind cord and now it keeps repeating Error move roomba to a new location and I've done it a dozen times, it still won't work.
I've checked the wheels and are fine.
What's wrong?
Thanks

Roomba only circles back and forth in a very small area as if something is stuck. I have cleaned and cleared all the lint and hair from all wheels and it continues in small semi-circles, moving only a few inches.

Roomba circles My Roomba circles for a few minutes, then beeps 9 times and stops. A red exclamation mark appears on the left hand side of the controls. If you persist in restarting it, eventually I have been asked to clear Roombas wheels. As far as I can see, there isn't anything blocking the wheels.

Yes, this is known issue and if your bumper moves freely, you might be facing a sensor fault caused by poor quality of components.Here is a guide to fix ithttp://www.schneordesign.com/Avi/irobot/roomba_mod2.htmHave fun ...

Wheels stuck. The wheels are stuck in the up position.

Roomba Discovery Roomba is fully charged and cleaned with sensor wiped clean. When turned on it it sounds normal and commences to go, but it then acts like it is putting on the breaks, spins, tries to go and manages a short distance and breaks again, just not making any progress because it keeps breaking after a foot or so and turns and tries again. Sometimes is gets so stuck from moving forward at all, like it is stuck in one spot just trying to go while seemingly surrounded by barriers. Somet

I had the same back-up, turn, move forward a couple inches, backup-up, etc. problem. Try cleaning/cutting the hair, etc. out from around the brushes, as well as around the ends of the brushes. Also, try a Q-tip to clean out the four pair of sensors ...

Roomba Discovery My Roomba turns on and moves but the brushes won't turn. Someone told me that I had forgotten to put in the yellow and black end bearings, but I did. Help, I miss my Roomba
I have a Roomba 530, I have had it for 2 weeks and really loved it. I have followed all the cleaning instructions etc.. Then the Roomba wanted it's brushes cleaning "please clean Roombas brushes" So thinking that something was stuck I removed and cleaned the brushes, (yellow tabs on and in place by the way)

I read somewhere that you need to clear the software in case there is a glitch. To do this, take the battery out and then, simultaneously hold down the "spot" and "clean" buttons for 30 seconds. Replace battery. This has worked for my Discovery model ...

Roomba stutters on one wheel causing it to quit

Try setting the Roomba on the floor, powering it up, pressing down hard on the front, just above the front wheel, and hitting "clean" or "spot." My Roomba had the same problem, and this seems to do the trick for it. I think it has something to do wit ...

My roomba pro elite just goes around in a circle. how can I fix this? I have cleaned the roomba as thoroughly as I can. Could it be a recently changed wheel tread?

Neato wheel is stuck - Neato Robotics Neato Right Drive Wheel

Roomba goes in a circle moves about 5 inches and then turns in a circle again. It won't dock or go any farther than a few inches before turning in a circle again. The roomba has been cleaned inside and out. All hair and debri as been taken out of the wheels and brushes. i opened the case and cleared all the debri and i dusted the sensors in the front. Not sure what to do now.

Roomba turns in circles going one direction and then another but can not go forward in a straight line. Aftter a few moments of going in circles, it cuts off and says inspect and clean roomba's wheels. We have done that 5 times and to no avail.

My Roomba 4210 plays the dead battery song 10 seconds after I press Clean, Spot or Max. But I notice that I can put my roomba in diagnostic mode (with brushes, wheels etc) for long periods of time with plenty of strong power. Why won't it clean for more than five seconds without that dreadful tune, flashing power light and an amber status light?
